Chandler - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any complications are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
